governed pretty successfully bite norms in the past we think trump shows those norms are just inadequate we need real enforceable hard legal constraint to ensure that the presidents for example, to encounter the growing state presidential campaigns and mueller report revealed gaps in the way that foreign influence new selections are regulated. we thank you so gaps need to be close by statute. and we think that the norms work pretty well in preventing conflict of interest, need to be made into very strictly enforceable laws and and the president needs to be separated by law and obtain a criminal penalty and for the businesses there needs to be completely open. it is for estate investments especially need to be open and reported to congress in all of this needs to be legal machinery behind it. the tax disclosure requirement which worked quite well as a matter of norms is been made a matter of law and finally this chapter we think that it is hard to reform the pardon power because the bargaining power is one of the core powers of the president in article to read we believe there are ways th

norm ornstein, and it is often said or at least said by norm mccarthy who is a scholar at princeton who says that we are more polarized today than at any time in the civil war. can you tell us what it is about the political parties right before the civil war that led us to be so polarized then? >> so, you know, going back through history and we will see echos of so many of the divisions that are familiar to people today. if you look at the period leading up to the civil war and looking at the party system that was in flux. we had a whig party that became that was transformed into the modern party, and we had along the way a know nothing party and the ire and the focus was on catholics and on some elements of the northern europeans in part, and we had actually a president-elect on know nothing ticket, and ultimately it became the two parties that we know today or at least that we know today the democrats and the republicans, and of course, we had that overarching issue of race and slavery and the parties flirted with that. for a while the democratic party had a pretty strong pro anti-sla

for norm mineta. i was wondering for when you ran for political office to now, do you think that you have had an influence to have more asian-americans run for public office in 2019 than when you started? >> absolutely. in 1967 we had in san jose a directly elected mayor for the first time because the mayorship had always been rotated among the members of the council. so now we had a directly elected mayor, member of the city council ran and became mayor and that created a vacancy on the city council. so i was asked to submit my name for consideration to that appointment to fill that vacancy. and so 13 candidates interviewed with all the city council member i was appointed to fill that vacancy and became the first non-white to come on the city council in 1967. and so one of the things i said i was going to do was to represent people who had no representation or who were underrepresented in the community on the city council, and that's a principle i've stayed with all my life whether i was mayor, membe

your arguments to academia and think tanks journalism why should we pay special attentionad to the norms and climate of these professions in particular? >> these industries give us a picture of the world if we want to know about something any kind of policy for example if we say what is the relation between guns and crime we rely on the knowledge producing industries and exploring this division of labor as society has progressed adam smith the division of labor and increasing productivity but the division of labor not just withth respect to making professions but also with respect to knowledge production so we specialize in a small field so we have to rely on others so one of the things i explore in the book is the idea that our knowledge is a common resource. relying on these knowledge producing industries we have to rely on journalist and academics to know what the world is like we should be wary ofll social pressures to conceal information or conceal evidence or avoid giving arguments in those professions because only under a free robust exchange of ideas are we able to leave and some

norms around speech? here it's almost a natural iconoclasm for the purpose if an enriching the academic commons might not be turning against cherished normal free speech. >> right, right so we have had free speech over time and now it said contrary intake like maybe it's not a good norm. maybe that's part of what's going on with the cnoc was him but yeah but just to say some of the bad incentives have been there in the social sciences or certain oocytes areas. it's not a new thing. it certainly is accelerating now but if you look at you know one case that is brought up was i don't know if i pronounced his name right but he was an anthropologist and he suffered low back for blowback for doing things that people didn't like. it's certainly not a new phenomenon but it's exhilarating so we need to be more wary about it. >> hrishikesh we are toward the end of our time for the day. thank you very much. you've written an excellent powerful book and it will be a force for people trying to think clearly about how

i agree with what norm is saying, that all the norms have fallen apart, so to speak. but, the fact is that we don't want to forget that all of american politics has been built on tribal identity. it was rachel, for most of american history and was made invisible by disenfranchisement and suppression to voting. so we're seeing that. the map that you refer to allows us to see every congressional district in the united states has voted from 1840 to the president. and you can see which ones flip. i come from a very strict -- i come from the only congressional district in the south that has voted republican since the civil war. so when people look at this later, not now, you'll see in the corner of tennessee, there is one little red arrow and that's where -- i went to andrew johnson elementary school there and we had the identity of being a republican. in my lifetime, to go from being republican in the 19 fifties in the south, and what's being republican today means or an entirely different thing. some other things are confusing. that this map helps understand. the labels,

we developed these norms, these institutions that allow our flaws to ideally cancel each other. that's how i came to it. i will begin with what is your argument first of all, that there is such a thing as truth, because the subtitle is "in defense of truth" and talk about the constitution of knowledge that has a couple of meanings and delightfully invites the reader to figure it out. >> thank you very much, steven. i have to preface this by saying that i'm glad you are here, and if i'm also a little bit nervous, it is first because you have been such an inspiration for this book, your work over the years, and second, because i'm not a cognitive psychologist, but i'm a little bit pretending to be one in this book. we will see how it holds up over the course of this session. and i'm thrilled that your book on rationality is coming out. i can't wait to read it. i am sure it will be a good complement to my own. i come at this through a somewhat different route. i come from a political world and sort of the political [inaudible] of society. what that means is that every society has t

was this the question of a breakdown of professional norms? should we be much more skeptical reading papers and sociology journals rather than others? >> i'm inclined to think sociology or other fields adjust —- adjacent there's a great paper from 1984 that if you propose a certain thesis in economics one reaction what kind of economist would argue something like this? there is that tendency of people assail the character of somebody who may be proposes a thesis that the majority in the field don't like. which isn't fair and something like physics if you're working in sociology or various fields you will think twice and say i don't want people to attack my character so i just will look into this issue what my peers would like to hear in this issue. so laura talks about when the community wants to reach a particular conclusion then we can't really be confident in the outcome so i take that argument from larry that yes. there is that this analogy between the social science and physics and especially of these policies face issue because that's

more norms and institutions. i think that's starting to happen. we have to model in wikipedia which i write aboutin the book . facebook has a variance institution buildingexercise going on right now .they're sitting on an oversight board and we've seen an international network of fact checkers and we've seen the emergence of international networks of academic enters that are not only putting disinformation and viral lies, they're going inside the networks to get ahead of them so they can alert social media. we see social media trying to redesign its platforms so that they're less hostile to truth. twitter now just this morning i tweeted a link without reading it because i'd already read it but twitter didn't know that before they let me tweeted out they put up a billboard that said are you sure you want to this without reading it. a psychologist would probably say you know, that's just a smart little water for to remind people to use rational brain instead of just tweet on instinct. little things like that that make a difference, we don't know yet

the network of people in institutions and norms that we use to check our ideas. that's all kinds of things. that's not just a kind of a mathematical kind of reasoning about probability. that can be everything from evaluating the aesthetics of a proposition, how does it comport with experience? so it's a fuzzy process, but the key is, is my book embraces what's been called network of [inaudible]. it says fundamentally no individual however careful she is is able to reason her way to truth. the only place knowledge comes from, the only place is in the exchange of views in a structured systematic way, with lots after other people over a big impersonal network, so lots of people are hunting for each other's mistakes, floating propositions, and it is that system, it's emerging from that network that we get knowledge. people on that network may be more or less rational on any given case. you know, it kind of doesn't matter because the system will sort itself out over time, but it needs a lot of structure, and that's the core of my book. so this is a little different fr

according to these models that require us to do things in certain ways and respect these norms. and a couple of things have happened. one the polls show two thirds of american students are afraid to talk about politics for fear of offending someone. i have multiple interviews in the books and i shared this again and again. students are not. afraid of left-wing professors. they are afraid of their peers andro no one is sitting with thm at lunch and that sort of thing. the second problem may be even more insidious and here is where i would love for your corrective comment because i hope this isn't true not only is that science but it's costing academia a lot of credibility in and the general public that says well it's the left wing. i wonder if when you got to that part of the book did you recognize this as true or did you think it was overstated or what? with the reality and constitution to the political right is the more serious of the two. on theth other hand i do think that the cancel culture is pernicious and in the credibility of the community such as science. to express an

norm, why don't you tell us about a few of these. >> sure. as you mentioned, cary, we're starting in new england, which is where the first colonies were settled. and the artifacts we have included here are basically land deeds or covenants or property ownership that has been granted to the con colonists from the king. pennsylvania, as we know, is a colony that was founded primarily to be religiously tolerant of the quakers of the baptists, the catholic and so all were welcome in this particular colony, which eventually as we know the state of pennsylvania. so these are the acts and the laws. again, granted landees given to the colonists showing their ownership. also basically they're also upon the acts and in the laws we're showing how they are using part of the bible to use as their legislation of how that colony would be founded. for instance, over here as we move forward, this is the maryland laws enacted. and it's showing that first of all we know that maryland was established as a catholic colony. and then you can't really see it, but he

norm doesn't care about publicity. i don't think this is an easy thing it all for him to be here and talk about himself. the question came up about other japanese americans running for office. norm has mentored so many people, he was mentored by daniel, and it's something that's been passed along and passed along. the incredible japanese american community is the other thing. it impresses me so much, how they've pulled together to get the civil liberties act. there were years of coming together and of raising money for that. and all the things that had to happen before there could be reparations. it's the only time it's happened in our nation's history. but it has been an incredibly enriching experience for me and i feel very grateful that i'm the one that got to tell the story in the book. [applause] before we break, can i do something of a personal nature? >> i'd like to have my wife standup. because without her, i would never have been able to do this. [applause] she has cajoled, kicked and whatever it takes to infl

up with me is norm connor ad. norma put this collection together for us, he is here at the museum in washington, d.c.. norm is going to lead us through there and give us some of the details of these items. it is a fascinating look at understanding that. one of our big tourist groups will come visit the museum, you would think a big museum, what do they want to see? especially overseas. the bible in america is one of the key pieces they want to go visit, they want to understand how can that be. how can the bible be a basis for a government? we are one of the few places in the world that can say that. a lot of curiosity here. this area of the museum gets visited by many, many people. this is the favorite part of the tour when they are here. the museum of the bible is 430,000 square feet, maybe about the third largest square -- museum in washington d.c.. also the largest museum of its kind in the world. we focus on three major areas. the impact of the bible, the narrative, and the stories of the bible, and the histor

you have to balance this principle that we don't normally -- it's a norm. we don't normally prosecute ex-presidents, but you have to balance it against the law and the evidence. and it is -- it would be even worse if the attorney general found compelling evidence that would lead anybody else to be prosecuted as mr. demura was. former congressman ozzie myers is about to stand trying for the same thing, the same kind of conduct that trump engaged in, but on a smaller scale. it would be terribly wrong, even worse than prosecuting an ex-president if there were compelling evidence that the same crimes had been committed. and i think the statement, just find 11,780 votes, just say the election had corruption and leave the rest to me. the interattorney general has t balance the principle that no one is above the law. >> the answer to -- yes -- the problem with what you're saying is you are assuming facts that don't exist yet. sure, you know, you can investigate in the hopes of finding something, but what i was writing about is what the facts are now. and what the

but norms work even in the trump presidency. there's a lot that he has people wanted him to do but he didn't. now perfectly that they worked remarkably well we think are a lot of steps that can be taken special counsel regulations to make it clear of the prosecutions are not allowed and throughout all of the guidance and to how the fbi investigations of presidential campaigns and presidents should be conducted read into rethinking the relationship between the lawyers the white house and the lawyers in the justice department actually taking power away from the white house where politics are even higher on the list and they are the justice department in determining what the law is in most of these reforms as i say are internal to the executive branch and some of them need to be or have congressional support. it's wildly important that congress enact make clear the president can commit it destruction of justice, this is not clear. and it needs to be clear for a whole variety of reasons. very briefly that i will stop, part three is

let me save off the new norms. it's a game changer. this is from the international impact committee. it feels like they are aware they are, they are not immune to the criticism. they know they are being criticized. they have had scandal off the scandal of the scandal. how we look here, that this is what they are saying. the complexity, the risk, the waste, the cost delivering the limpid games. it's going to be much more value. there's going to be flexibility that we partnership efficiency, sustainability. that's the new norms. it's against change. the i see a very punny here. alright. it's what i want to do here is to take you tailor to the map of brisbin who was really pump top about how the games when they, when they come to prison, they're going to be different. they're going to be cheaper. and brisbin can handle age, have listen to the or has been is a place that has been for a lot. it's been for natural disasters in floods. but it's always had that determined sphere ambition. and today it is present time to sean. this is a new era

the cooperation with any future leadership will be based on its willingness to uphold and act by the norms and standards of international law, including human rights laws. our political and financial support continues to be conditional on the preservation of the country's human rights and democratic achievements. we welcome the efforts of afghanistan's neighbors who have offered help by providing shelter to those escaping the dangers and uncertainties that accompany armed conflict. i will end with a special thank you to the u.s. mission in afghanistan, the efforts are now more important than ever as is the safety of their staff. thank you. >> i thank the representative of estonia for their statement. i now yield the floor to the represented above norway. you have the floor. >> thank you, mr. president and thank you for calling this emergency meeting on the situation in afghanistan. allow me to thank the secretary-general for his briefing as well as the ambassador for his remarks. to echo the secretary-general and previous speakers, the situation in afghanistan is extreme lease serious. ove

they have the do norms, they have the olympic agenda 2020. but the changes that they actually make tend to benefit the international impact committee and don't address the issues that we've been talking about today. so the militarization of public space, the poor treatment of the on how's the forced gentrification displacement of people that live in the city that won't be able to ever afford a ticket to the olympics the over spending the green washing. and so i think that possibly a consumer boycott could have some kind of effect. but wow, it's really difficult to marshall that kind of support for a consumer boycott, especially when you think about it this way, that the olympians are essentially workers, their worker athletes within an unjust system. and so to abandon the olympics and not to support those athletes is actually to kind of leave them in the cold in a particular way. just one final quick point on this that i think it's important context is that important study came out from ryerson university that compared the revenues that athle

building new norms will help accomplish their goals. with that, i yield back. >> i would like to ask both witnesses if they have any additional comments they want to make. >> thank you. i appreciate that and i appreciate the opportunity to respond to those thoughtful remarks. i think as suggested at the end, it might be worth spending this brief period thinking about specific ideas for change that might build out from some of the points we have made in our testimony. get to know each other more, all of which matters, it is important we think in terms of categories like budget reforms. the budget has always been a core at the culture of this institution. it is the essence of what congress does and power of the purse shapes the ambition that members come here with and the nature of the work they do. and congress has moved to change the nature of the budget process , very often in response to what are in effect challenges to its culture or ability to work effectively. the budget process that you work with today which comes from the middle

so, norm, you raised a red flag, early on, about the emoluments clause and the former president. you heard what the judge wrote. the -- what do you make of where this has landed? of what the judge has, so far, decided? >> anderson, thanks for having me back. i think it's an important milestone on holding trump accountable. when you and i, first, started talking about emoluments, uh, in 20 -- early 2017 -- we didn't imagine it would take this long. but the rule of law, as slow as it is, is working. and there's no question that the constitution forbids a president from taking money from foreign governments, anderson. and now, finally, congress is gonna get ahold of his tax returns. that's an issue for when he's president. and we're going to see what the full extent of it was. i think we're going to have some pretty shocking, further revelations about just how much he was getting from foreign governments. >> tim, i mean, how big a deal is this ruling, in your view? because the judge said the house can't see tax returns before he was president. does that -- does that make a big diffe

of politician and this is totally flouting those norms, signing something into law with the admission that you acknowledge this act is not just unlawful but is in all respects unconstitutional, is the opposite of norms. it's the opposite of he respecting these types of guardrails for our politics. it's incredibly damaging and to see the way the media reacting to it, it puts all this stuff on its face as kind of absurd, that they would be lauding this move by biden because they really don't care whether those norms are respected or not. and it makes everything in retrospect look kind of laughable. one more point on this. the people who are actually hit by the eviction moratorium are overwhelmingly america's small business owners and the like who have one house or maybe two that they rent out, a small number of units, those are the ones that are hit the most by this and aren't going to be able to continue to make mortgage payments, probably end up getting swallowed up by bigger firms that can borrow debt cheaply and that's something that's very bad when you're trying to build an economi

idea that a patient-doctor relationship and patient centered care but for so long that was not the norm and that's coming from the new generation of doctors and what makes that all the more impressive that in medicine there is a rigid hierarchy and the degree to whichyo younger doctors don't feeler empowered with a more senior position with the new ideas so i thought that was bold and now we hear that from the new generation of doctors that want to put that at the center of their care. it's interesting to see this new generation of doctors because theyy have access to a whole new field of research about what it does to help outcomes in patients and doctors have a relationship. and patient seeth themselves represented in the medical care. there is a study i talk about in the book done in oakland a couple years ago that black men had better health outcome when seen by black doctors rather than nonblack doctors. also cholesterol test in diabetes screenings as preventative test there is life or death consequences when patient see themselves represented in the medical field it isn't just the

in your book i am hearing has been passed down for ceremony, norms and value. you have talked about that today. much like a child learns from watching ann's parents behaviors are learned and mimicked. what new values do you want to teach youngsters and drink medicine? >> i think the values are the right values. it is just the system of medicine has caused us to act in ways against those values. i would focus on them. i would as an example say to every medical student and resident and doctor, did you treat every patient today that you want your family and friends? knowing the answer is no which i think it often would be i would say we can do better. and how can we do it together to improve the care that is there? i want to advance health into the 21st century. look at burnout and medical school it is the first year. first year medical students, they don't use the electronic health that can't be the cause. so what is going on? when we elevate in medical school, first year medical school is the ability to have memory. doctors are really smart people. they are real
